Conversations on Craft

A Restrained Practice • Vietnamese architect Võ Tr ng Nghĩa spent the last three years meditating in the hills of Myanmar. He returned home to Ho Chi Minh City for a short visit during Lunar New Year in 2020, but ended up staying on due to the pandemic. These days, he spends most of his time learning English. We spent a day with him to find out more about his unique philosophy.
